From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20020203 BuildID: 0.9.7 A form <input> field with type set to "hidden" should be able to contain linefeed characters in the value. These appear to work in the middle of the value, but if they are present at the end of the value, then they are removed from the end of the field. I have tried several variations, including turning the literal CR & LF characters into HTML character entities &#13; and &#10; but they are still truncated when they appear at the end. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit the demonstration URL (http://annexia.org/tmp/linefeed-tag.html) 2. Click the Submit Query button. 3. Examine the URL in the location bar. Actual Results: The URL ends with %3A (a colon character). Expected Results: The URL should be followed by %0D%0A%0D%0A. It is probably helpful to examine the source of the page to see what's going on.
NS4.79 produces: http://annexia.org/tmp/linefeed-tag.html?arg=Two+line+feeds+follow+me%3A%0A%0ATw o+line+feeds+follow+me+too%3A%0A%0A 2002020803 Win95 produces: http://annexia.org/tmp/linefeed-tag.html?arg=Two+line+feeds+follow+me%3A%0D%0A%0 D%0ATwo+line+feeds+follow+me+too%3A truncated
*perms in place* N.B. NS4.79 read only &H0A where Moz properly read &H0D &H0A

This is a dup of one of Harish's bugs. I can't remember what one right now though.
